Three minutes later, Istvan Sofron found a rebound near the net after Doornbosch fired a one-timer and he stuffed it home for his second of the year and 5-2 lead.
Wichita tacked on a late goal with eight seconds left in the third as Travis Ewanyk recorded his fourth of the year and gave the Thunder a 6-2 lead.
The Thunder improved to 9-1 overall, which is its best start in franchise history and improved to 4-0 away from home. Beaudry had a pair of assists while Chase recorded two points (1g, 1a).
